Description: SCP-005-INT is part of a series of events and items linked with an organisation known as Rome, Rebooted, a Group of Interest that aims to reform the Roman Empire by employing anomalous technology to shift the social, political, religious, and cultural fundamentals, primarily of Romance-speaking societies, to a modern adaptation of the pre-Catholic Roman Empire equivalent of these relevant elements.

SCP-005-INT-1 is a cognitive-memetic agent that is connected to the structure of Romance languages created by the relevant GoI.

SCP-005-INT-2 are anomalous materials embedded with the SCP-005-INT-1 agent published by the GoI.

SCP-005-INT-3 are androids employed by the GoI with diverse functions, designed A to C, related to the spread of 005-INT-1's anomalous effects.

SCP-005-INT-1 anomalous capabilities manifest only when an individual capable of reading any variation of a Romance language1 consumes any media affected by the agent (SCP-005-INT-2). Its capabilities involve but are not exclusive to, the implantation of language skills, and of memories that replace their common idiomatic abilities with the individual's Romance vocabulary for a variety of Latin, affecting their spoken, and written lexicon2. That knowledge seems to be implanted in a manner that individuals affected cannot communicate how they've learnt it without direct experience to 005-INT-1's effects.

Secondarily, subjects affected by SCP-005-INT-1 will start developing a keen interest in historical, and cultural elements related to the Roman Empire, ranging from simple trivial facts to detailed geopolitical accounts, procuring mediatic content. Although individuals do not display self-destructive behaviours3 [Not really sure to put here yet, maybe they want to share that knowledge with everyone they know.]

Pigeons that insert instances of SCP-005-INT-2 as virtual plataforms, and programs especially through electronic devices.

005-INT-3-C

Enforcer

Pigeons that are equipped for melee, and short-ranged combat in order to protect instances 3-A and 3-B.

So we have :

A GOI whose goal is to anomalously merge the romance languages into a new form of latin and restore the Roman empire.

Could be something related to a memetic effect:

Individuals whose primary or secondary languages are a variant of the common Romance languages are affected by it.

Or media written with it, too.

Cognito/memetic effect that makes these individuals speak a variant of Latin that comprises these languages, and media to change its contents spontaneously to be written, and presented with this new idiom.

An idea about robot-pigeons that look like pigeons, act like pigeons but are not pigeons.

They can carry a memetic effect in big cities, because they just fit into the local pigeon population

Maybe the GoI would want to escalate things after affecting the spoken idiom.

Through Jingoism or something alike.

Would it be a good idea that the pigeons hack people's electronics to install something like Siri but in latin and that answers questions with pro-roman propaganda.

Their knowledge of the language could be implanted as some type of Qualia. "A thing you know about conceptually but you just can't explain without a demonstration of its existence."

They'd just think that they were always able to speak that language.

We could mix the two ideas, I think. The pigeons, and the pages. Some pigeons are carriers, others are hackers.

So the pigeons drop the pages in pertinent locations.

Like in schools, business, factories, etc.

Material related to their current environment.

And as the propaganda makes more success, it changes to more political tones.

Like promoting views, and foreign policies against countries that don't speak romance languages.

There could also have been a breach in one of the sites. And some personnel got affected by the memetic effect.

And now they're either contained awaiting for a cure or researching in an enclosed environment.

Maybe in a temporary PT-FR site that doesn't use either language to avoid containment. But somehow something went awry.
